Escapist News Network: All in the Cards

[Impluse_101]

Why would anyone be hating a double rainbow....Its..awesome.

 

[Lord_Panzer]

Heh heh, double rainbows.

 

[Macgyvercas]

I can not believe that Graham feel for the pen15 joke!

Great episode. And any chance we can picket the WBC?

 

[Dramatic Flare]

Oh hey, my hometown was mentioned.
AWESOME.

 

[OceanRunner]

Nintendo have already picked up the rights to Ultimate 52 Pick-Up Blitz Party.

 

[blippity]

'kind of urgent'

didnt get the pen15 until Kathleen mentioned it. Damn im slow today!

You missed out on a whole lot of fun during school to use that! Good to see them using some old school jokes like that and 52 pickup

Isn't Ryan dead?

No. Someone tried to kill him, but he was not around at the time.

Also, why is he the only regular

Ryan, like Dr. Holly or ChadX, is a recurring character, but not a regular. He shows up in about one episode a month.

with a false name,

Because Matthew J. Wiggins is not an industry analyst; the fictional character of Ryan Quickbender is.

and not in the intro?

Because he is not a regular. In more more broad terms, ENN's intro credits the four people who put many hours every week into creating it. In the context of the show's "mythology" he is also not part of the news team -- he's a paid, third-party commentator.

I find it fitting that the opening credits feature the people who put the most work in.
We love you for it, guys!

Really liked the commentary on those idiots picketing Comic Con- jerks!

Also, loved the dig at Star Craft (was next to the actual box today!) and the lovely, lovely business that is Gamestop (spits).

Pen 15 is.....???

NOOOOO!!!

Love this show...

love anything Loading Ready Run does....

Love you Graham... in a totally platonic way.

*ahem*

 

[lokiduck]

XD My mom is addicted to Solitare Mahjong... does that count?

 

[The Random One]

Pretty awesome.

I know I won't be getting 52 Pickup Action Party until they release the Game of the Year version with the secret Rules for Playing Blackjack card.

 

[Aptspire]

oh graham, when will you learn

 

[Digikid]

Any special requirements for the pen15 club? LOL!!!

 

[Thorvan]

For some reason, the second person joke at the very beginning really cracked me up. I AM ENN!

Very funny episode overall. The top story was hilarious ("...62." "52." "That's what I said.")and the side story jokes were top notch. Man, I want to join the Pen 15 club.

 

[Don Reba]

Thanks for the news. Downloading SC2 now.

 

[theshadowcult]

LOVE the Mooby reference!

Quite disappointed at the apparent lack of Dogma fans...

 

[robakerson]

I fell for the Pen 15 club joke back in grade school. :\

I'm surprised more of these people didn't get the pleasure of having "PEN 15" written on your arm all day.

 

[MortalForNow]

Yet another reason why ENN is a delight to my Wednesdays. Like many others, I too did not get the final joke until Kathleen pointed it out. Maybe it's because I'm falling asleep. This could also explain why I tried to read the back of that Gamestop game box image when I saw that it and Kathleen shared the same last line. Unfortunately for my tired retinas, it wasn't the same and now I shall be punished with terrible sight tomorrow. It's a small price to pay for watching this show.

 

[duchaked]

Solitaire... just what I need. a motion control version of the game

a motion control FarmVille...oh dear

 

[Zivlok]

Wait, Portland? Really? Is that a joke or...

Cool! And great episode as always - oh, you silly baptists. Can;t you see that anabaptism is the way to go?

 

[Vyce]

Card games on motorcycles is the future.

 

[Grahav]

Get revenge by writing A55 on him.
